MUMBAI: Indian Railways have been facing the problem of revenues and as a solution, they have come up with a creative idea. They are going to increase the Railway’s revenue by promoting various fields, from sports to entertainment.
They have launched a new scheme called “Promotion on wheels” for which special trains are made. Those trains can be booked for various promotional activities resulting not only in the good promotional idea but also additional income for the Indian Railways.

The train, carrying the celebs and media persons, will leave the city of Mumbai on Wednesday and will reach New Delhi station on the next day. It will comprise 8 coaches in total.
